ICE, Blockstream announce Cryptocurrency Data Feed

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a leading network of regulated exchanges and clearing houses for financial and commodity markets, and blockchain startup Blockstream have launched Cryptocurrency Data Feed.

ICE and Blockstream entered into a strategic agreement and have launched the Cryptocurrency Data Feed, to be distributed via ICE Data Services’ Consolidated Feed. The new feed will offer extensive coverage of prices and order book data for leading cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin, among others.

The Cryptocurrency Data Feed will initially include data from over 15 cryptocurrency exchanges and offer real-time cryptocurrency information. It will include data from Bitbank, Bitfinex, BitMEX, Bitso, Bitstamp, BtcBox, CEX, Coinfloor, Coincheck, ItBit, Gopax, OKEx, SurBTC, The Rock Trading, Unocoin, Vaultoro, Zaif, and others still in the works, Blockstream said. These exchanges represent cryptocurrency trading in Asia, Europe, and North and South America.

“With the broad array of cryptocurrencies and exchanges, and given the price variances between exchanges, it’s critical that investors have a comprehensive source of pricing information,” said ICE Data Services President and COO, Lynn Martin. “We’re excited to work with Blockstream, which is focused on bringing institutional-quality data to the market, and we look forward to expanding the feed and our strategic relationship with Blockstream over time.”

Blockstream works with leading cryptocurrency exchanges and consolidates the different data sets into a normalized and standardized data source that includes real-time and historical trade information, as well as other relevant order book data such as quantities, prices, currencies, and timestamps. According to the official release, the Cryptocurrency Data Feed is a multi-asset and multi-venue data feed capturing the majority of cryptocurrency exchange trading volume for leading cryptocurrencies measured against the U.S. Dollar and other major currency pairs.


“At Blockstream, we build technologies that help cryptocurrency to reach its full potential. Our work on the Cryptocurrency Data Feed is providing improved cryptocurrency market data through information sharing via our open, collaborative working relationships with cryptocurrency exchanges around the world,” said Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream. “We are excited to work closely with ICE and cryptocurrency exchanges globally to deliver this data service that we believe will significantly reduce the barriers to broader trading of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.”
